Thinking Machines Lab Reportedly Raising $5 Billion at $40 Billion Pre-Money Valuation
Business Insider reports that Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, is raising $5 billion at a $40 billion pre-money valuation, after a $2 billion seed round last year at over $10 billion. The lab also released its second-generation model, Inkling 2 Small, a 594-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model, with open weights due next week under the Apache 2.0 license. If completed, the round would make the lab one of the most highly valued independent AI companies and signals that investors still see room for new frontier-model challengers.
